Now that Arc System Works has acquired the rights to this franchise, amongst some others from Technos Japan, I hope they will do good with it and produce a new game with their trademark 2D sprites on 3D polygon backgrounds and Daisuke Ishiwatari rock music.

WayForward Technologies did a pretty decent job with Neon and were for a time one of the best developers to go for modern remakes of retro classics. As much as an awesome tribute and parody it was, it did also have some flaws i.e. controls and animations felt a bit too slow for me.

I thought ASW did a wonderful job for Konami's Contra franchise with Hard Corps: Uprising, so let's hope the same treatment can be done for Double Dragon.
